INTRODUCTORY 


'N  presenting  this,  our  Third  Annual  Catalogue,  we  take  pleasure  in  calling  to  your  notice,  illustrations  of  our  latest 
improved  patent  Section,  Inspection,  Telegraph  and  Steel  Velocipede  Cars  ;  also  our  new  Steel  Bag-age  Trucks  We 
have,  hy  oarof.il  study,  expensive  experiments,  tliree  years'  experience,  special  machinery,  and  by  using  carefully  selected 
material,  been  enabled  t.^  produce  good.,  that  for  utility,  durability,  strength  and  safety,  have  proved  highly  satisfactory 
to  our  customers  and  ourselves.  We  call  the  attentioa  of  those  interested  to  the 'superior  points  of  excellence  of 
our  production. 


OUR   BUSINESS. 

About  three  years  ago  this  Company  commenced,  in  a  small  way,  to  manufacture  a  cast  and  wrought  iron  Three- Wheel 
\e  ocipede  Car,  the  weight  of  it  being  two  hundred  pounds.  The  main  principle  of  the  car  was  considered  by  practical 
railroad  men  to  be  far  superior  to  anything  of  the  kind  ever  invented,  but  we  received  some  complaints,  calling  our  attention 
to  excessive  weight,  imperfect  castings,  imperfections  in  workmanship,  etc.  We  consequently  set  out  to  improve  our  car  about 
eighteen  months  ago,  and  by  December  1st,  1884,  we  commenced  to  ship  our  all  steel  and  malleable  ikon  velocipede 
CARS,  weight  only  one  hundred  and  thirty-five  pounds,  and  each  car  constructed  to  carry  either  one  or  two  men  We  have 
shipped  smce  that  time  nearly  one  thousand  cars,  and  are  happy  to  say.  with  three  exceptions,  they  have  proved  themselves 
highly  satisfactory  to  the  purchasers,  as  will  be  seen  by  rofen  ing  to  the  flattering  testimonials  in  this  catalogue.  We  insert  only 
a  few  testimonials,  but  have  over  five  hundred  on  file  in  our  otflce  (most  of  which  are  unsolicited),  which  are  always  open  for

PRINCIPAL  POINTS  OF  ADVANTAGE  OVER  OTHER  VELOCIPEDES.

by  the  liancls  and  feet,  and  is  easily  run  by  eitheu  one  or  two  men.  Wliere  two  men  are  operating,  each  does  an  equal 
amount  ot  labor.  The  motion  is  the  same  as  rowing.  The  operator  always  sits  facing  the  direction  in  which  the  car  is  being 
run.  The  car  is  so  constructed  that  it  can  not  tip  off  the  track  in  making  curves,  no  matter  how  fast  it  is  being  propelled 
Our  car  runs  backward  as  well  as  forward  on  level  and  straight  track,  which  is  considered  a  great  advantage  over  other 
\elocipedes.  Axle  revolves  under  friction  rollers.  These  rollers  are  four  inches  in  diameter,  with  brass  boxes  which  run  on 
five-eighths  hard  machinery  steel  journals. 

PATENT  WHEELS. 

We  use  a  patent  anti-buckling  all  steel  wheel,  twenty  inches  in  diameter,  suspension  tension  ;  machinery  steel  tire 
FLANGED  and  HARDENED.  This  proccss  of  making  greatly  increases  strength.  Steel  staples  are  riveted  in  countersunk  hole^ 
in  lire.  Bessemer  steel  spokes,  doubled  with  conical-shaped  heads,  made  cold,  pass  through  staples,  and  heads  are  hooked  in 
recesses  m  huos-compleling  sure,  strong,  and  perfect  foundation  and  suspension.  The  hub  is  composed  of  three  pieces  •  the 
tension  is  produced  by  screwing  the  box  through  the  outer  spoke  receptacle  against  the  inner  spoke  receptacle  forcing  them 
apart,  thus  drawing  the  tire  toward  a  common  centre,  making  it  perfectly  true  and  round.  By  reason  of  one  spoke  pulling 
against  its  opposite,  we  have  the  only  successful  anti-buckling  wheel  in  the  market.  The  wheel  is  very  strong,  light,  and  pretty 
elastic,  and  so  simply  constructed  that  a  person  of  ordinary  intelligence  can  take  it  apart  and  put  it  together. 

THE  STRONGEST  LIGHT  WHEEL  IN  THE  WORLD. 


The  above  described  steel  wheel,  weight  sixteen  pounds,  used  on  Velocipede  Car,  was  recentlv  tested  before  a  special 
Committee  of  the  Franklin  Institute,  Philadelphia,  Pa.,  and  stood  a  solid  pressure  or  strain,  in  one  position  of  6  500  lbs  and 
m  another  position  of  7,300  lbs.,  bearing  on  the  hub  of  wheel.  '  '

The  Hand  Car  is  a  good  on*.    I  am  well  pleased  with  It, 

Norfolk  Soathem  R.  R.  Co.;  A.  BI.  Hawkins,  Srpenrisor. 

After  iin  oxperience  of  20  years  as  track  man,  I  consider  yonr  Hand  Ca;- 
the  best  I  have  ever  seen.  The  dead  centre  being  done  away  with,  per- 
fectly economizes  the  power  and  makes  its  speed  very  great.  I  can  accom- 
plish as  much  in  one  month  with  the  use  of  your  car,  in  section  work, 
with  four  (4)  men,  as  I  could  with  six  men  with  the  ordinary  car  in  use  on 
most  railroads.  I  have  ten  sections,  and  an  extra  floating  gang.  With 
your  car  on  each  section,  and  one  with  the  extra  force,  I  can  well  afford  to 
do  away  with  one  man  from  each  section,  as  I  know  that  the  use  of  your 
car  will  more  than  compensate  for  the  loss  of  one  man  from  each  gang. 
The  reduction  of  eleven  men  at  $1  per  day,  or  $'X  per  month  to  each  man, 
is  $S86  per  month  reduction,  which  will  pay  sny  railroad  company  to  save. 

Lake  Creek  R.  R. ;  B.  T.  Hardesty,  Montgomery,  Texas. 

The  Section  Hand  Car  gives  me  perfect  satisfaction.

No.    II— "Kalamazoo"    Steel    Baggage    Truck. 


It  is  through  the  constant,  .leniand  by  Railroad  Companies  for  stronge..  lighter  and  more  durable  i^ailway  Appliances  that 
we  liave  experimented  and  placed  upon  the  market  this  new  feature  or  construction  of  a  Railway  Baggage  Truck. 

We  claim  that  it  will  outwear  six  wooden  trucks,  as  it  is  made  entirely  of  steel,  is  stronger,  ^and  is  not  affected  bv 
exposure  to  the  weather  as  arc  those  made  of  wood. 

Our  Trucks  are  made  of  2  x  ly,  x  U  inch  T  shaped  steel;  the  lower  part  of  the  T  acts  as  a  brace  throughout,  and  will 
^tand  almost  unlunited  weight.     They  are  thoroughly  braced,  extra  strong,  well  finished  and  painted. 

To  Railroad  Companies  the  advantage  and  economy  in  purchasing  our  Steel  Trucks  can  readily  be  seen,  as  we  can  fur:    h 
at  n  slight  advance  on  price  of  Wooden  Trucks.
